Give A Little Background
about DUE DILIGENCE
Speak about the non-profit: who they are, what they do, how they do it, the people they serve, and the impact they have.
Describe the Need & How the Money (if donated) Will be Used
Describe the program(s) or service(s) to be funded
Describe what and how many clients or populations the donation would likely impact
Clarify if any of the donation will be used for administrative fees or salaries
Be clear on what the money will “buy” for the community the organization is helping
Remember, people want to make wise choices as to where their money goes. Make sure you are well informed. Will the money be applied to the general operating budget to help your chosen non-profit grow? Will funds be used to purchase supplies, materials or technology? Will the donation be used to expand a program or service?
Make It Personal
Tie in a personal story about why the organization means so much to you
If it matters to you, it will likely matter to someone else. Use testimonials, stories and real-life events to help your audience make an emotional connection with the non-profit and gain an understanding of the non-profit’s values.
End with a very heartfelt request
